Just a minute into the La Liga opener for FC Barcelona, an unexpected visitor took to the pitch.

Playing against Elche, players on both sides laughed as security tried to wrangle the cat off the grass. The feline eventually tired out, allowing one officer to grab him and push him down a corner hallway.

The game went on as scheduled but the incident lent itself to numerous feline-based soccer puns being spread about the Internet. Marouane Felinei. Lionel Meowssi. Catiano Ronaldo.
